This game is A LOT better than it seems. You shouldn't trust your impressions after first few levels. Yes, they are boring, but not representative for the whole. I got the game in the bundle and first played in on tablet - and hated it. I tried it again after a year, when I installed it from steam. I tediously bombed my way through the initial levels, motivated only by getting some steam achievements. And then, suddenly, I was hooked. The levels started to be more demanding, the achievements harder to get - that was it. I needed to be stealth, to plan my route, to study enemies' paths and be quick at that. Overall it took me seven hours to complete the game with all achievements and I quite enjoyed it. And I haven't even touched player-made levels (yet). Definitely worth playing.

Summary:- shallow and boring at the beginning- not very appealing artwork+ gets better after a few levels+ gets even better when you aim for all achievements+ lots of player-made levels if you're hooked

A quite different top-down stealth game with a fair bit of a challenge. Using your flashlights and bombs you need to fulfill the different requirements of the levels which can be things such as no death, no kills or not using a flashlight. It starts of simple but gets tricker the further in you get and often requires multiple playthroughs of the levels to fully complete each of them.

The achievements are just for completing the different tasks in the game and ends with fully completing the game and all the level requirements.

Fun bomberman style game.Very easy to clear levels.Go for 100% ingame achievement for the challenge and to really enjoy the game.The game completes in a few hours.Short and complete puzzle/stealth game. Loved it!

Dynamite Jack is a nice, albeit rather short, Bomberman-style game.Personally, I really enjoyed playing through the campaign: most maps are indeed quite easy, but if you want the experience to be more challenging you can just decide to try and get all the secondary objectives on you first try, instead of coming back to collect them one at a time.This, opposed to just going for the exit, does make the game more rewarding but doesn't really increase its longevity: you will probably get to 100% completion in about 7-8 hours tops.Still, for me this wasn't really an issue, better an "honest" short title than a game that drags on and on with pointless objectives and impossible achievements.Also there are many community maps, so if you really like the game you can keep playing it even after finishing the campaign.

As far as the price is concerned, if you like this kind of game I'd say it's worth it; with a coupon you can even get it for 1€, and that's a steal in my opinion.

PROS - pleasant design. - levels last a few minutes, making this the ideal choice if you don't have much time. - getting all the achievements is not an impossible task (quite the opposite, actually). - really fun if you enjoy this kind of game.

CONS - some mechanics could (and should) have been exploited more; for example the "spiders" which appear in the last couple of maps in my opinion deserved to appear more throughout the game, they make the maps they're in much more challenging and interesting.
